Seeking configuration for Insta360 One R as Octolapse camera

Camera model Insta360 One R, 4K mod

What is the problem? Cannot find a configuration that will work for the Insta360 One R camera. (Logitech camera works fine.) When I test /webcam2/?action=stream in octoprint settings, I get a broken-image icon next to the text that says: If you see your webcam stream below, the entered stream URL is ok. I have also tried this with only the Insta360 camera installed, and with the camera_usb_options mentioned below moved to the /boot/octopi.txt file. Of course v4l-ctl output is adjusted accordingly, but that is the only change. No joy.

What did you already try to solve it? In /boot/config.txt, set camera="usb" and camera_usb_options="-r 1920x1080 -f 30 -d /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-Amba_Insta360_One_R-video-index0" (I also tried -f 10, to no avail)

Logs (/var/log/webcamd.log, syslog, dmesg, ... no logs, no support) (I do not see such a file. /etc/default/webcamd indicates that such a file should be created, but it is not in /var/log as it should be although this is in that file: LOG=/var/log/webcamd.log

I will be thrilled to share that file if we can make it appear.

Turns out that disabling Spaghetti Detective was key to making this operation work. I had read here that Spaghetti Detective has some problems with multiple camera setup, but the way it was written, sounded like Spaghetti Detective would have the problem, rather than the multicam setup itself having problems.

I tried disabling that since no other things seemed to work when they should, and voila! problem, solved!
